Carrie Underwood’s Album Reclaims Country Chart

The Oklahoma songbird’s Some Hearts — 70 weeks after its release — bobs back to the top of Billboard‘s country albums chart this week, sinking Gary Allan’s Greatest Hits to second place. Underwood’s Saturday (March 24) appearance on Saturday Night Live can’t improve her chart position, but it may enable her to keep it a while longer.

Tim McGraw’s “Last Dollar (Fly Away)” remains at No. 2 for the second week. Rounding out the Top 5 songs are Underwood’s “Wasted” (moving from No. 6 to No. 3), Keith Urban’s “Stupid Boy” (at No. 4 for the third week) and Martina McBride’s “Anyway” (which jumps from No. 7 to No. 5).

Brad Paisley’s “Ticks” springs from No. 30 to No. 20 just three weeks after its release, and Rodney Atkins’ “These Are My People” strides from No. 57 to No. 44 in its second week out. Sara Evans “Missing Missouri” re-enters the chart at No. 54.

Judd’s “Illegals” is the highest-debuting song, coming in at No. 58, and Flynnville Train makes its bow at No. 59 with “Last Good Time.”
